Rglee Poem for my deceased son

I hired Oshun The Poet to customize a poem in memory of my son LeMajae James Boswell. I created RGLEE (Remain Great LeMajae) in remembrance of Lee and hosted a Pop Up Shop. Oshun the Poet wrote a poem to the vendors of the event to REMAIN GREAT. I only noted to her that I wanted the poem to motivate the vendors to REMAIN GREAT and she did that PLUS more. The way she was able to incorporate the REMAIN Great motivation along with the remembrance of my son was so creative. All the vendors were accepting of the words in the poem and reached out to me saying thank you. I would def have you creating poems for each event and hope to have you on the scene to speak as well for the years to come. I was late asking for the poem and she did not hesitate to get it done and still keep her promise to have it ready timely. Truly a blessing to me, my vendors, my event, and my social media friends after sharing it. RGLEE appreciates your dedication and we pray you to continue to be a blessing to others with your words. You're Amazing!

Revised Review

I would like to revise the review that I wrote about this young lady. She reached out to me today to explain what happened. I am so sorry for all that she went through. It is hard to tell a person's character when you have only talked to them over the phone and with all the scams that are out here today, one can never tell. I see now that it was a terrible misunderstanding that could not be avoided and I deeply apologize for the previous review. We will be reaching out to you in the future to come and bless our guests with your craft. Again I deeply apologize for the previous review, and will keep in touch for future events.

She left a permanent mark on me… Literally!

I became a fan of Oshun in 2017, I loved her words and poetry so much I asked her could she write a specific poem for me to get tattooed and she did exactly that I’ve been having the tattoo for about 3 years now. Definitely one of my favorite poets

PowHERful Poet

Oshun The Poet performed at my women’s empowerment, PowHERful! The objective of the event was empower women of all ages to be unapologetically themselves. The pieces performed by Oshun The Poet were extremely moving. In reading the room, the audience was able to connect and whole-heartedly connected with her. She definitely understood the assignment. She was truly a pleasure to have at the event and I would highly recommend her.

I booked her three times last year

Once for my retirement party, second time for my niece graduation dinner and thirdly she wrote a handwritten poem attached to bouquet of roses I got my wife last year. She really put her heart into her art. Once you book her you'll always want to book her.
